Tibor Németh (senior lecturer, ELTE) visited GTK (9 to 20 October 2021) in the frame of staff exchange focused on the research of clay minerals. XRD mineralogical and clay mineralogical studies were carried out on seven well-described soil samples representing Chernozems and Luvisols of Hungary. Two samples were studied with …

In the frame of the ENeRAG student exchange between 13 October and 7 December Ábel Markó joined the GTK’s Geoenergy Group under the supervision of Kimmo Korhonen. His visit focused on the numerical modelling of low enthalpy geoenergy potential. First, the method of analysing shallow geothermal systems, modelling borehole heat …

The student exchange of Petra Baják (PhD student, ELTE) was organised for the development of skills in radionuclide transport modelling in groundwater. The training focused on multidimensional multicomponent reactive transport modelling to evaluate how radionuclides move in groundwater. The student was also involved in the use of numerical models which also aimed at …
